Yong and Katz Chop It Up
Level 9
: 0/0, 8,000 ante
Romain Arnaud limped with pocket eights and Richard Yong peeled ace-queen suited in the hijack. He jammed for 348,000 and Cary Katz reshoved for 371,000, holding a dominating hand.
Yong: 
Katz: 
Katz didn't like the 
flop but was able to recover at least enough to claim a half of the pot as the 
turn and 
river gave both players a nine-high straight.
